Sorry, Out of Stock!  Due back in stock 24 November 2026

Ch Gloria is considered by most wine experts as on a par with the officially classified growths, but as it wasn't around in 1855, it couldn't be classified.  It was assembled over time piece by piece* - unusual in Bordeaux. 
That means of course that it offers great value!

With a blend in the 2019 vintage of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc & 5% Petit Verdot (14 months in oak) it is a lovely balance of St Julien power and aromatics.
This 2019 vintage is considered one of the best ever Ch Gloria vintages and it opens with full scents of blackcurrants and plums, with underlying notes of cherries.  
It's Medium-to-Full bodied with plush fruits and soft velvety flavours. It finished with a freshness, structured tannins and hints of dark chocolate.
A Treat!

Wine Advocate says:
93 Points, The 2019 Gloria has turned out very well, delivering aromas of blackcurrants, plums, burning embers and a deft framing of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, with a vibrant core of ripe and fleshy fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish, this shows considerable promise.

Wine Spectator says:
94 points, Rock-solid, with a mouthwatering roasted apple wood and mesquite frame around a well-layered core of black currant, blackberry and plum fruit flavors. The finish features dots of tobacco and tar that add range, but the real driver is a long bolt of iron, which gives this a throwback feel. 

Decanter say:
94 Points, Such a deep, concentrated nose, full of ripe blackcurrants and black cherries. Great intensity and concentration on the palate, some dark spicy notes, liquorice, black pepper and cinnamon around the edges alongside layers of juicy and succulent ripe fruit. A full, bold wine no doubt, real power here but stylish and energetic. If you like the gourmet style, this one is great.

*Interesting fact!!   (Well, we thought so!)
Gloria's vineyards are concentrated in three main zones:  on the plateau near Gruaud Larose; to the south of the village of Saint-Julien, not far from Saint-Pierre and (this is the interesting bit) on the border with Pauillac (including one hectare within Pauillac that has been granted permission to appear as Saint-Julien) near Batailley.
That's a trick question for your next Wine Buff's Quiz night!
